The document outlines a proposed framework for developing an economical digital content management system. It discusses how current CMS tools have high costs that prevent many public organizations from using them, instead relying on inefficient methods to store and manage content. The proposed framework aims to design a low-cost CMS that stores content in the public cloud and provides multi-channel access and improved storage principles using digital object storage. The research methodology involves investigating existing systems and literature, designing the framework and addressing challenges of storage, security, compliance and multi-device access.

3. 1. Introduction
• Content management (CM) is a method used to store,
preserve, manage, retrieve and deliver the content and
documents related to organizational processes.
• A CM tool allows the management of an organization's
unstructured information, wherever that information
exists.
• Types of Information-
Paper Documents
Images(tiff, Jpeg, gif,..)
Office documents
Graphics and drawings
Print streams
Web pages and content
E-mail
Faxes
Video
Rich media assets

4. 1. Introduction
• A content management system (CMS) is a software
application used to create and manage digital content.
• It offers lifecycle management of content and compliance
and governance.
• There are various CM tools available in market-

10. 3. Research Gap
• Most of the available CM products in the market has a very high Total Cost of
Ownership(TCO).
• This is the key reason why most of the public organizations, universities and
companies are away from using any dedicated CM Products.
• They rely on saving their organizations content via Paper trail or on computer
drives, CD’s, Google Drive, etc.
• This approach has many shortcomings- Storage Limitation, Search limitation,
Security of content, compliance, multi-channel/device access, efficiency
degradation, limitation in sharing and collaborating.

11. 4. Research Motivation
• The proposal has been motivated from the “DIGITAL INDIA”
project started by Govt. of India in 1st July 2015.
• In India, universities, public work departments, health
departments and many other organizations can’t afford to buy
expensive market based DCM Systems for document
management which indirectly affect efficiency and increase
operational costs and reduces transparency.
• By designing a framework for a low cost DCM solution, the
research looks forward to assist organizations/enterprises to
implement and adapt Digital philosophy and thus moving India
towards Digital India.

12. 5. Research Objective
• To design a framework for low cost Cloud based Digital Content
Management system
• Using public cloud.
• Designing a taxonomy model that can be reused and extended easily
by various organizations with minimal or no changes, thus
improving the ease of use.
• Designing a framework for Multi-channel access(mobile, web, etc.)
of content.
• Improving holistic storage of cloud based implementations.
• By using cloud based storage principles by using digital object
storage.

13. 6. Research Methodology
• The adapted research methodology can be discussed in terms of
phases as following-
• Phase 1- Investigational.
• Phase 2- Designing a framework for low cost Digital Content
Management in public cloud.
• Phase 3- Designing and addressing storage, a robust
compliance and security mechanism for content.
• Phase 4- Designing and addressing challenges associated
with multi-channel access to content.
• Phase 5- Designing and addressing the search techniques for
content extraction, content classification and content based
searches.
